dalsh327 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Some of my favorite actors aren't the main guys in the film, but the ones who can show up for a few minutes and make a shitty movie great when they're in it. You can count A-list movie stars, if it was that good of a scene, and not just because they were just making an appearance. Put it this way, what would Godfather be without Duvall and Cazale?

dalsh327 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 I only came into this thread to mention John Cazale but the thieving bastard OP already did that (you forgot James Caan)When it comes down to it, there was no one true "star" in Godfather. I don't think Brando dominated the entire movie, or Pacino. Caan to me was on equal footing because he had just done "Brian's Song", and would've been considered one of the stars of the movie at that time. No one knew who Pacino was unless they saw "Panic in Needle Park" - which most didn't. I think everyone has their favorite supporting players in that film - Connie is nails on chalkboard annoying that you enjoy seeing her get slapped around, and also enjoy seeing Sonny kick her husband's ass in the street, and by the end of the movie, realize that Michael was one cold blooded motherfucker, which we assume the war was an influence on keeping that cool. The only time he's sweating it out is in the restaurant where it's a "no turning back" scene.

For me, what you have described as a supporting role was actually a leading role. I am referring to films like A Room with a View and My Beautiful Laundrette.

For me, what you have described as a supporting role was actually a leading role. I am referring to films like A Room with a View and My Beautiful Laundrette. I guess with him being picky about movie roles and a lot of time in between movies, you'd have to go that far back. Looks like we'll get a new GNR CD before we'll get a new movie with him in it. He's going to be 60 by the time he re-emerges, if this turns out to be true. http://www.mnn.com/lifestyle/arts-culture/blogs/daniel-day-lewis-plans-5-year-acting-sabbatical-to-live-on-farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
